Or if the windows API even has a scaling option. Now I know nothing about what Windows API Adobe is writing about. Photoshop uses mostly OS native controls and windows, so uses more of the OS APIs, and runs into the problems with those OS APIs regarding scaling. We are moving as quickly as we can on this - but sometimes we have to wait for the OS vendors to get things right.

We'd all benefit from a little competition If that statement tempts you to chime in and say that you're an experienced developer that just can't imagine any problems with photoshop and UI scaling that you yourself couldn't handle, then you should consider using your advanced knowledge to develop a photoshop competitor.

Lots of back seat drivers in here talking out their behinds if you ask me. Micrsoft can't do it THEMSLEVES, so stop giving Adobe grief for this. SQL Server doesn't support High DPI and neither to a bunch of other windows apps I use. This app ships with Windows 8.1 and does not support high DPI. On a high-dpi display, open your task manager, then click the Performance tab, then click Open Resource Monitor. You need to look no further than Microsoft's own Resource Monitor. This is Microsoft's first real effort at high DPI support and it's simply not comprehensive. I use windows daily, have multiple windows devices, and am generally a fan of the company. Some of the people in this thread are giving Microsoft too much credit. While it may support everything that most developers need in order to get their apps looking sharp, it does not have the coverage needed for the most advanced graphical applications, such as Photoshop. My hypothesis is that while Microsoft ships some API functionality dedicated to UI scaling in Windows 8.1, it is not comprehensive. Adobe has been rolling their own PhotoShop UI on windows for at least the last several versions.
